REVIEW: Trak Art NLTA Nissan 370z Direct Bolt-in Harness Bar
 

I personally have been using this bar in my Nismo for Autocross for the past few years, and wanted to type up a review with my experiences.

Bar is Manufactured by a company out of Australia called TrakArt (very well known for their full all out race car builds with full racks/cages.) and made available to the consumers here in the states by Next Level Performance with Group Buys/bulk orders to cut down on shipping, wait time, and duty taxes.

Ratings (1-10)
Ease of Install = 10
You don't have to remove the entire interior or do much modification. The two inside above the OEM support bar slide right off, which the bar utilizes 2 OEM screws that mount to the OEM support bar mount.

Function/Design = 10
It fits VERY snug into the car which is to be expected. The bar uses both OEM seat belt bolts yet it keeps them 100% functionable for that quick in and out use but still knowing you have your harness there for track days.

While 99% of the stress is kept at the OEM seat belt mounting points, helping prevent the bar from pivoting are the two bolts going directly into the MOUNT of the OEM support bar, not the actual weak bar. The mounts have been strength tested to provide enough strength to support the bar from pivoting.

Another install. An absolute must for a '15 Nismo to put those seats to use!

loooks sweet, next mod to do!

Very nice!

Has anyone done a DIY for this specific harness bar? I've been back-and-forth with NextLevel Performance (who I purchased it through) after wrestling with it for a few hours only to find out I'm missing some hardware and I still don't have the bar mounted.

Pretty annoyed to purchase a $700 item and not be supplied with any form of instructions, especially with it being a safety item.
